After picking up Connely in Vienna he came to stay with me for a few days where we enjoyed getting to know each other. This was a great opportunity for me to soak up some wisdom about how to be an effective missionary in a foreign culture. Connely currently teaches at a small bible college in Maple Grove, Mn preparing students for short and long term mission service. Part of his duties are to travel to where some of these students are serving to encourage them and see how they are coping with the rigors of acclimating to a new culture. After spending 10 days in northern Slovakia and Poland Connely returned to Bratislava and my flat before flying out of Vienna the next day.
